Default Re: PTFE tape for transformer insulation

Hi , I have always used it for small transformers as it self binds without being sticky and keeps things from unravelling but for thicker wires you would need a large number of turns to get the mechanical strength as the pressure from thicker heater type wires will cut it through.

P.S. Posts crossed. Just read the one above and looked up the health risks - nasty stuff it seems but it is used on frying pans!
